3/12/08 Sounds like kids are starting to do their spring sports – so we should wrap up skiing. We will need to set a couple different days aside to storage wax (team) skis and collect jackets/uniforms. Greg is planning to be out at 9 Mile tomorrow, but not to coach. It’s suppose to be in the 40’s, so he would set up a wax bench outside and start on at least the classic skis. The kids could still use their skate skis if they want to tool around yet and we would do those further down the road. They could turn in classic skis, classic poles, and jackets/uniforms if you can make it out there. We don’t have a later date set-up yet for further collection/storage waxing. Rachel We were very happy and proud of our Night Gliders who competed at the State level this year. The Classic Race was won by Adam Martin in 14:02.8 (3 seconds faster than second place Jon Gilbertson from 4H-CANSKI 14:05.6) with Paul Dau placing 11th. Both are 8th graders and will move into high school skiing next year. Zach Tesch (7th grade) was 14th, and Mark Wenzel (5th grade) was 17th. The Skate race found the tables turned as Jon Gilbertson edged out Adam for 1st place by 2 seconds with a time of 12:34.1 to Adams 12:36.2. Paul held steady with a 12th place finish, Zach with a 19th, and Mark with a 26th place. These were excellent performances considering these were back to back races in a one day format due to adjustments made because of the extreme temps predicted for what would have been a two day event. Congratulations to all!
